The first look at Disney’s live-action remake of The Lion King has arrived – and judging by this epic teaser trailer, it’s going to be wild.
The trailer sees the opening scene of the 1994 animated classic recreated, as James Earl-Jones reprises his role as Mufasa for the voiceover.
We get our first glimpse at a live-action baby Simba, as well as Rafiki climbing Pride Rock to introduce the new cub as the Pride Land’s future king.
Donald Glover will voice a grown-up Simba for this remake, while Beyoncé will take on the role of Nala.
Billy Eichner, Seth Rogen, Chiwetel Ejiofor, John Oliver, and Keegan-Michael Key are also part of the cast.
The Lion King will be released on 19 July, 2019, and forms part of a humungous line-up of new movies for Disney next year.
